You may have heard about the Florida sinkhole that, a couple of weeks ago and without any warning, opened and sucked a totally unsuspecting person named Jeff Bush into the earth, never to return.  Though Jeff's brother tried desperately to save him, he could not.  In the space of a few minutes, Jeff vanished forever.
     Why, life?  What does it really mean, what does it really mean to be born, then die in the space of a bare moment, never to be seen again?  In a universe of nothingness, birthed and vanquished in absolute nothing, emerging and disappearing in pervasive stillness, birth and death are as evanescent as the wind, if we can even speak of such, questions and concepts beyond answer.
     Unless there is a God.
